“I am very excited to assemble this year’s film festival, “said art teacher Heather Swan, who leads Huntington High School’s video arts program. “We will be presenting a diverse compilation of 20 films that were produced by students representing all four of the video courses as well as a project by my media arts students. We are very fortunate and thankful to have the Cinema Arts Centre hosting this event, since the venue allows us to view the videos on an actual movie screen.”
